2020-10-11 Winter Park Getaway Day 2: Aclimation and Viewpoint
I woke before the sun again today. 5AM I think. I’m afflicted with the inability to sleep.. in. I mean, I’ve been able to, in the early days of my life and in more recent years if I’ve taken something to help me sleep. But not now. And certainly not here, in a bed that…

2020-10-10 Winter Park Getaway Day 1: It Can Be Whatever You Want
I’m waking up on my second day here in Winter Park Colorado— before the sun and with a fairly healthy headache. It might be a hangover, you know, because at this altitude it only takes a few cocktails to affect a person. Despite reminding each other numerous times last night, we still did not alter…

2020-06-16 Take Back the City Tour: Day 1
Day 1 and I’m feeling good about my decision yesterday to make some changes. No sleep meds last night and it was a rough start to the night, but eventually sleep came to me. I slept until just past 5 and that was quite nice. I’m also going to ween myself off caffeine. This I’m…

2020-05-29 “Everything’s cool as long as I’m getting thinner”
That title is a line from the Lily Allen song appropriately titled “The Fear”. Half of the lyrics are about life and mass consumption and the way we seek after fortune and how society is all fucked up. The other half is confessional. It’s Admitting to confusion and not knowing what’s real and feeling taken…

2020-05-24 Sushi Sunday Anyone? 🍣
We had a glorious thunderstorm last night (apparently) and I woke at the end of that, happy to hear the rain as I’ve done some planting of annuals in pots the last week or so and every day it rains is a day I don’t have to. Thanks Universe! I also went back to sleep…

2020-02-19 Back to Basics with an Unexpected Twist
Dear Diary… How I have missed you so! It’s been several moons since we had any quality time together and I’m starting to feel anxious and nervous about our relationship. My biggest fear is that in my absence, you have started reading other people. Please say it isn’t so!.. /gasp /swoon But seriously, since I…

2020-02-16 Cake V Cake, the post Honeymoon Tasting 🍰
Right now, this very minute I am taste testing two slices of two week old wedding cake, cold, right out of the refrigerator. In this corner we have Hy-Vee Red Velvet, the apparent Fan Favorite after the groundhog didn’t see his shadow on Sunday February 2nd this year. And in this corner we have Wheatfields…

2019-07-30 NYC Day 5 – A Girl and Her Limits
Nothing like trying to remember exactly what life was like 48 hours and 1,241 miles ago, especially when traveling has created a haze around everything. Where was I at again? Oh yeah, New York City. It was a Monday in the year 2019 and I was just a girl traveling with her family and trying…
